Hi Martin,

Yesterday evening I disassembled the Beocord. Fortunately almost immediately I found a broken wire on an open PCB on the bottom of the drawer. It was the lower red wire on the attached picture.

 
After I soldered it back the fast forward, rewind and playing in reverse direction was fine. Then I checked the whole winding mechanics - the forward direction rubber roller assembly was loosen ( fortunately not broken 🙂 ). I mounted it back ( at first I missed the lower tiny spring... ) and then the unit was working fine !

I would not believe that this unit is so sensitive to transportation. It happened despite I took it as hand luggage wrapped in bubble foam to avoid the shocks...

Tibor,

Well done !

Noone knows if this is the first time it travelled, it may not have been packed and transported this careful previously.

Hi Martin,

The life is not so easy... Mechanically it is fine. But yesterday I connected it to the BeoMaster 7000 and recognized that the left channel is deaf [:-(]

At the weekend I have to trace the audio signal...

Don't forget to check inside the DIN plug for lose wires.

Martin

Thanks for the advice !

It seems you won [:-)] There is a broken wire inside the DIN plug. I will solder and check it tomorrow.

It is clearly visible on the cable's plug fixation that a previous user pulled out the plug from the BeoMaster's socket taking the cable, not the plug [:-(]

PM sent !

Hello, I/m Gabi from Romania and I also purchaised a Beocord 7000. The defects are similar to Wings. I've opened the deck and reachead the mechanics. I would love, if possible, to have an mechanics manual in order to see any potential problems. Till now, i presume that the belts are very old and that's why no answer when a cassette is inserted. Can anyone help me with this document? Or some details about the belts? Specially the bigget one which is old. Sorry about my English and I hope I've been clear enough. If you find necessary I'll post some pictures next days. Thank you!
